Peaceful Warrior is the foundational piece of work to become
a part of Flesh & Spirit Community. Flesh & Spirit Community
is a queer men's spiritual community exploring wholeness through workshops,
prayer/ritual circles, sacred play nights, dream circles, gatherings
and retreats. Ecstacy and erotic spirituality are threads that weave
us into a community of men loving men together. |

 The
peaceful warrior is an archetypal image of power and compassion.
Men such as Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., Henry David Thoreau and Harvey
Milk, are images that embody the characteristics of a peaceful warrior.
Gay/bisexual men in our community that might currently be seen as peaceful
warriors are Greg Louganis, former Olympic diver; Jim Mitulski, MCC Glendale
pastor; David Nimmons, Manifest Love; Collin Brown, Director of Body Electric
School; Christian de la Huerta, Executive Director of Q-Spirit; Mark Leno, Ca.
Assemblyperson and you.
----------------------------------------------
Some Native Americans have a saying, "Walk
Your Talk". Its meaning is to bring our words/intentions, energies,
body and actions in congruence with one another. The experiential body
oriented exercises in this workshop will lend themselves to being a peaceful
warrior who "Walks His Talk".
